With the
SX300, cylinder manufacturers have an easy-to-install and affordable
way of measuring the piston stroke of large cylinders.

WayCon developed
the SX300 to be mounted on the front side of the cylinder, making
it particularly suitable for the direct stroke measurement of
hydraulic and telescope cylinders up to a lift of 15 m. The extremely
robust sensor has been conceptualized for operating pressures
of up to 300 bars. The measuring cable which runs in the cylinder
is simply attached to the piston and held securely by a spring
within the sensor, regardless of the position of the piston.

The sensor element, which serves as a digital encoder, is located
outside of the pressure area, and delivers highly precise information
regarding the position of the piston. The direct stroke measurement
of hydraulic doors, or the monitoring of the synchronization
of parallel cylinder arrangements are among the classic applications
for the SX300.
